E-Learning courses for medical skills in OpenOLAT

The learning of and training in skills are supported by e-learning modules in OpenOLAT (see OpenOLAT courses "Skills Lab" and the "EKM" courses). In OpenOLAT, how to perform examination techniques are demonstrated in videos or photos, supplemented by anatomical and physiological fundamentals and virtual cases with typical situations, in which these skills can be used.
